PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EPISODE JUMPS BETWEEN 2 TIME PERIODS. IT'S A BIT DIFFERENT AS I AM TRYING TO SHOW THAT GHOST STORIES CAN BE SCARY, BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE TOUCHING, ROMANTIC AND SOMETIMES FUNNY. 

GIVE IT A CHANCE FOR THE STORY TO DEVELOP!

ANY ISSUES WITH SOUND QUALITY OR OUGHT ELSE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

the dialogue in this podcast includes language and expressions drawn from English as it was spoken in the mid‑17th century. These choices are intentional and aim to preserve the historical and cultural authenticity of the period. Some terms or constructions may sound unusual to modern ears, but they reflect the lived speech of 1640.

Hi Everyone, a bit of daftness for the season. “The 12 Scary Days of Christmas” Song generated using the excellent SUNO AI music, with sound effects added by me (for credits, see below) and some very English type daftness at the end.

Please Note:

• The tune is not The 12 Days of Christmas, but it’s a banging tune that builds up nicely. (The alternative would have been me singing the song, but that would have been terrifying!)
• It briefly gets the number of days wrong in the middle, but who cares
• It’s short; it just runs through the numbers 1 to 12 without repeating
• The “5 Bloody Hell Kens” is a reference to the excellent ‘Uncanny’ podcast/radio show – a must for all lovers of real-life supernatural stories.

Merry Christmas to you all – please say hi!

(PS A Black Shuck is a demon dog in English folklore that portends death).
